Mind as mirror and the mirroring of mind Book

Abe is such an interesting character - this book captures the critical writings, and the inspired essays, from his life long work to reconcile Christianity and Buddhist ideas. The conception of dialogue here is far too western, in my view, to lead to a seamless blending, but I fully accept a seamless blending might not either be possible or desirable for those who are invested in this project. Perhaps Abe's most interesting contribution to Christian thought might be the argument he traces where a double negative ("emptiness is empty") creates a vast affirmative, where affirmation is the only possible attitude to have toward the world. It's really well done, and a great read overall.
